The Stumptown series is essentially a collection of shoes based on the original Danner patterns. The outdoor boots manufacturer has decided to explore the possibilities of offering products that were built and designed from a simpler time, but with new refined improvements in order to fit the conditions of this day and age. This concept of “Stumptown” was loosely derived as a symbol of pride of their hometown of Portland, Oregon. Paying tribute to its historical logging industry, these shoes are functional with grooves on its sole to improve traction. The Danner Mountain Light Patterson was named after Colonel F.E. Patterson, the first military instructor in Portland. Retailing at $340 USD, this particular pair can now be purchased via Danner.

The Danner Mountain Light Lownsdale is Danner’s first collaboration with Tanner Goods and is named after Daniel H. Lownsdale, who established Portland’s first tannery around 1845. Both known for their lasting quality products, Danner and Tanner Goods produce a boot constructed with genuine Chromexcel leather that takes roughly 28 days to mature prior to being used. Along with hand-welted Vibram flex 2061 outsoles, other details you’ll find are the nickel eyelets, GORE-TEX lining and olive Chromexcel-colored uppers. This new release can be purchased exclusively online at Tanner Goods.

Danner introduces a new collection titled the Stumptown Series as it incorporates a new upper and outsole combination with the 2021 from Vibram. The Mountain Light seen here has been unofficially dubbed the “Rugged Metro” and has earned the title of the lightest Mountain Light model ever. The Rugged Metro also features a full-grain leather upper with a GORE-TEX liner for waterproof breathability. The boots are available now through an initial limited run via The Woodlands Supply Co. with a further series release with different models slated for Union Made Goods.

Danner’s original Mountain Light comes in this no frills, no gimmicks black out version seen here. Maintaining a GORE-TEX liner over a leather upper, the shoe’s utilitarian approach has to be appreciated knowing it’ll get you through pretty much anything and everything. Available now at ripe.

The Mountain Light has become a strong icon for Danner over the years as its style has enjoyed a bit of a renaissance the last few years due to the revival of heritage styles. A brown suede version of the Mountain Light is seen here as it incorporates some well-established materials such as GORE-TEX and Vibram together in a suede package. The forest green laces add a nice touch as well. Available now at Gettry.
